I hate how when it's an emergency and I need to turn off my Wii, pressing the Wiimote's power button doesn't work despite the Wii LITERALLY being on and nearby. It just flashes blue for a few seconds and doesn't connect, and even if it does connect the Wii doesn't power off.

I'm not even close to an expert, but that sounds like your Wiimote isn't paired quite right to you Wii or vWii.
